DescriptionIn alignment with national objectives, skill development is essential for a country's economic growth and social progress. Sustainable development cannot be achieved without including a significant portion of the population. Recognizing this, REC Foundation is actively working to provide a platform for women to pursue commercial ventures. Its women empowerment programs focus on enhancing their capabilities and transforming them into successful entrepreneurs.
Another key focus area is education, which is fundamental to harnessing human potential and serves as a driving force in national development. REC Foundation supports various programs aimed at improving learning outcomes, strengthening educational infrastructure, and empowering both students and teachers.CauseLivelihoodStatesWest BengalBiharChandigarhDelhiGujaratHaryanaJharkhandMadhya PradeshManipurMizoramNagalandPunjabRajasthanUttar PradeshUttarakhandOdishaDemographicsStudentsTeachersWomenYouthTribal girlsImpactYouth trained 46000Women trained 10000Teachers trained 2362Artisans in Varanasi trained to work on solarized charakas and looms 1000Girls provided accomodation 300Children of migrant workers provided education 462Schools provided with safe drinking water facility 600Schools upgraded 715Anganwadis converted to preschools 500Toilets constructed in Government schools 12500 -

These projects are designed to reduce open defecation, promote hygienic practices, increase school enrollment and attendance, and decrease dropout rates, particularly among girls.
